Measuring Perceived Social Support in Mexican American Youth: Psychometric Properties of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (2004, background): “Because of within-group differences, researchers have suggested that Latino individuals be studied within their particular groups (e.g., Mexican American, Colombian, etc.) rather than group Latinos into one collective ethnic group (Umana-Taylor & Fine, 2001).”
Developing the Ethnic Identity Scale Using Eriksonian and Social Identity Perspectives (2004, background): “Consistent with previous research (i.e., Umaña-Taylor & Fine, 2001, 2002), individuals who reported that their families had socialized them with regard to their ethnicity also tended to report higher levels of exploration and resolution regarding their ethnicity.”
Perceived Family Support, Acculturation, and Life Satisfaction in Mexican American Youth: A Mixed- Methods Exploration (2006, methodology): “…that grouping Latino adolescents into one collective ethnic group may not appropriately capture the within-group differences of this heterogeneous population (Umaña-Taylor & Fine, 2001), only the participants who self-identified as Mexican American (n = 293) were included in the present study.”
Academic Support by Significant Others and Educational Resilience in Mexican-Origin Ninth Grade Students From Intact Families (2008, methodology): “A subsample of 216 adolescents of Mexican-origin youth living in twoparent intact families was used to reduce variation on the basis of country of origin (Umaña-Taylor & Fine, 2001) and/or family structure.”
Latino Fathers: The Relationship Among Machismo, Acculturation, Ethnic Identity, and Paternal Involvement (2010, background): “The term Latino is used in reference to individuals from various cultures from North, Central, and South America, all with unique histories, customs, and experiences in the United States (see Umaña-Taylor & Fine, 2001).”
The Structure of Cultural Identity in an Ethnically Diverse Sample of Emerging Adults (2007, methodology): “Familial ethnic socialization was measured using the Familial Ethnic Socialization Measure (Umana-Taylor & Fine, 2001 ).”
Educational and Occupational Aspirations of Latino Youth and Their Parents (2004, background): “Additional research that examines the interface between Latino families and their schools needs to be done to improve our understanding of resources needed by Latinos to attain their aspirations (Yowell, 2000).”
Examining Ethnic Identity among Mexican-Origin Adolescents Living in the United States (2004, background): “The findings for Mexican-origin Latinos may not generalize to other Latino groups (Umaña-Taylor & Fine, 2001).”
The Relationship Between Latino Adolescents’ Perceptions of Discrimination, Neighborhood Risk, and Parenting on Self-Esteem and Depressive Symptoms (2011, result): “…were not examined separately as a function of Latino ancestry or by acculturation because of the limited variability in this sample from Southern California, and thus, our findings may not readily generalize to the range of diversity found among Latino adolescents (Umaña-Taylor & Fine, 2001).”
Hope Measurement in Mexican American Youth (2007, background): “Because of the noted heterogeneity that exists among Latino groups (Umaña-Taylor & Fine, 2001), only the Mexican American participants were included in the present study.”
Latino adolescents' mental health: exploring the interrelations among discrimination, ethnic identity, cultural orientation, self-esteem, and depressive symptoms. (2007, methodology): “Consistent with methods used in previous work (see Umanã-Taylor & Fine, 2001), generational status was calculated as a cumulative score based on the number of individuals in adolescents' immediate family who were born in the US, which ranged from 0 to 7.”
Coping With Discrimination Among Mexican Descent Adolescents (2008, unknown): “In addition, results from a convenience sample Mexican descent youth may not be generalizable to other Latino/a subgroups (Umaña-Taylor & Fine, 2001) or other minority ethnic groups.”
